Did you guys really spend the last 3 days arguing who was the better player in practice? Practices that none of us got to watch and reporters only got to see a few minutes? And what was the purpose of all of this debate on a subject that none of us could answer for certainty? (Other than the obvious which is to spend time with other Vol fans waiting for the next game of course.)
No, that's not the argument at all. I just spent a few minutes each day trying to keep FOUR DISHONEST PETERMAN BASHERS honest and on point. They lost the arguments, so they obfuscated the arguments, misrepresented my position and deflected into the weeds hoping nobody will recognize what was actually debated.
It worked on you.
So KB...sjt?....who are the other two liars? :question:
American Pig, I have refrained from engaging in the minutiae of this particular debate because, quite frankly, I don't care. However, I would like to offer two observations for your consideration:
(1) You are, for the most part, dealing with fellow Vol fans on this forum. Although you may never change the opinions of those with whom you profoundly disagree, you would at least be regarded with a smidgen more respect if you ceased and desisted from calling virtually everyone who disagrees with you a "liar." Please save that level of vitriol for disrespectful Alabama, Florida fans etc. who wander into our cyber territory.
(2) I am certain that you will disagree with this observation, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what constitutes "fact." You have engaged in drawing inferences on this topic from the limited data to which we all have access. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that, but the conclusions which we reach under those circumstances are ultimately interpretations based on limited data. None of us are privy to Butch Jones' innermost thoughts on this topic, the communications which he has had on the matter with Josh, his parents or the coaching staff. There have been very few direct quotes on the subject which could be described as reliable primary source data.
If that didn't make a dent, and I presume that it didn't, let's consult some third-party resources (i.e.online dictionaries) for definitions of what constitutes "fact":
"Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed: Genetic engineering is now a fact" (from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition).
"A real state of things, as distinguished from a statement or belief; that in the real world agreement or disagreement with which makes a proposition true or false" (from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia).
"a concept whose truth can be proved" (from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University).
"an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" (from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University). All definitions are cited from https://www.wordnik.com/words/fact.
Please note the emphasis upon events, attributes or information the reality or truth of which can be verified, proven, documented or demonstrated. I understand that it is your belief that the arguments which you advance are facts, but, by these definitions, they simply aren't.
Only 4? Hell, there's been about 25-30 of us on and off going at the freaking idiot for a couple weeks now. I finally put the fool on ignore last week and haven't responded to any of his idiocy for awhile now, but I'll gladly wear that badge of honor.
Yep, about 4 - and you are chief among them. You stop responding every time you get caught red-handed in lies and CAN'T answer.
For an idiot claiming to ignore me, you sure do follow along and respond alot. You only quit responding when I ask you to give evidence for your latest lies.
For example (1) , you told FSLT that I argued Butch never intended to RS Dobbs. That's a lie. You know that's a lie. When I asked you to provide where I claimed that, you disappeared.
(2) When I proved you dead wrong on Peterman having a broken hand throwing in the Florida meltdown, you tried desperately to BS your way out of the facts, then wen't silent.
(3) When I caught you later ripping Peterman's Florida performance while omitting the broken hand fact, you ran away like a weasel.
(4) When you then tried to claim the broken hand did not happen until after the meltdown, I proved you wrong AND exactly when the broken hand happened in the game. Again, you refused to acknowledge anything and ran away.
(5) You lied to everyone about having no hostility towards Peterman. After I destroyed you with multiple lines of evidence for ripping apart Peterman, you now change your tune and speak patronizingly well towards the guy you were ripping all over VN.
Face it KBVol, you have been a really dishonest chump.
You cannot demonstrate one single example where I have been dishonest or lied. None of you can.
Not one of you can demonstrate ONE single argument I have offered that is not supported by the facts and evidence. But hey, you can feel good circle-jerking with the other Peterman bashers whom I took apart. They fared no better.

Volosaurus, I acknowledge receipt of your selective outrage and will discard it properly.
I can assure you I NEVER accuse a person of lying for mere disagreement. I accuse them of lying when they knowingly and purposefully are not truthful - and only after being proven wrong. Unfortunately, those people exist - even among our beloved VN family.
Most of these people were caught bashing a fellow Vol QB named Nathan Peterman. When confronted with a pile of facts and evidence that proved their judgments unwarranted, they have proven themselves dishonest and many have proven themselves highly manipulative.
They drag things off in the weeds to obfuscate what happened, offer endless red-herrings to distract from their proven lies, refuse to answer when asked to demonstrate a particular lie, thereby giving evidence they know they lied, and continually evade the truth when proven wrong by facts and evidence.
Unfortunately, you, like most, will stick your nose in mid-stream and have no idea of the context. You only see me ripping this same pack of liars up for their lies and evasion, so you assume I'm the bad guy who accuses everyone of lying. In fact, they followed me over here to attack my perfectly valid comments relevant to the thread. I'm not allowing them a free pass to gang-rape me. I just keep holding them accountable to the original debate they lost on the merits. It's not pretty, but I'm not backing down to these pervasively dishonest people.
So while I appreciate your well-meaning sentiments, you have no idea what happened and you are defending a pack of angry, pervasively dishonest idiots hoping to shut me up with their collective noise. Remember, most of whom were caught red-handed on other threads bashing Peterman - a fellow Vol player - for very bad reasons. I confronted them. That's why they hate me.
BTW Butchna, FYI, I wasn't counting you among the 'liars'. We had our moments on the original threads, but you haven't proven yourself to be without conscience like some of these clowns. That's why I don't go after you, I actually agree with many of your thoughts and find then reasonable. Ain't that scary?.
